About the design

Inspired by 18th-century French Toile de Jouy fabrics, this is an original illustrated design. It's drawn in a single-color copperplate etching style, with a garden swing between the trees, a shepherdess with her sheep, a stone cottage, a fountain, songbirds and flowering branches, all joined by trailing floral vines.

Sizing

Please check the size chart in the listing photos and compare it with a dress you already own. Cut and sew dresses are shaped to the body, so we suggest sizing up if you're between sizes or like a looser fit.

Production and shipping

Every dress is made to order just for you. Because each panel is printed and sewn separately, pattern placement at the seams can differ slightly from dress to dress, which is part of the handmade character. We ship to the USA, Canada and Australia. Please check the listing for current production and delivery times.
